At Fun Educational Apps we always like app that help the kids to stay in touch with the News! We have been using News-o-Matic (Kids 7 to 10) and were delighted to try out this new one designed for beginning readers and special needs students for teaching and expanding literacy skills, from basic awareness of symbols and print to reading fluently with comprehension. This app spurs learning and increases communication, while aligning to Reading and Speaking and Listening Standards. Each edition includes: Current Events; Vocabulary; Recipe; Joke; Sports News; And a variety of interactive games and puzzles for some fun while learning.

Are you kids into space and curious about the Kibo Japanese experiment module … then this one is for you.It offers a realistic 360° view in every direction aboard the “Kibo” Japanese Experiment Module on the International Space Station located 400km above the earth. This app lets you experience the feeling of actually being aboard “Kibo” though your smart phone screen. JAXA astronaut Akihiko Hoshide will play the role of your navigator. Follow his guidance and try a simple mission. As a bonus, if you clear all missions, you can view a video of the earth from space as seen from the perspective of an astronaut. You can also post your first words after viewing the earth from space on Facebook. With what famous words will you leave your mark on space? … download now it’s FREE!

We did buy this one as a way for the kids to explore the world with a Geo-Me. A cool app offering a lot of potential. We like that the team at Crackerbox did not want to present cliché but instead a unique experience for the kids by using animated musical stories and adorable avatars to introduce kids to basic world geography. This app is only at its beginning and we are looking forward to new addition to this app!

Have a great week and we promise we will keep on looking for next top New and Noteworthy apps for your kids!
